Born in the deep south, Candace Wagner grew up with a keen appreciation for the beauty of her surroundings. As fine artist and illustrator, mindful in every detail, she meticulously captures the magnificence of life using a variety of traditional media.

Early acceptance in South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and a B.F.A. in Illustration from Ringling College of Art and Design are formal complements to Candace's natural abilities. While attending RCAD, she was selected as one of "Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges".

Candace's professional career began as a scenic artist for local theater and burgeoned into creating large scale murals, restorations and gilding of private collections for clients such as Royal Caribbean International & Celebrity Cruises. Her public works range from whimsical to formal and adorn some of the most luxurious ships at sea. In both large and small scale, Candace's installations inspire viewers around the globe. Clients are consistently impressed by how her custom-created art beautifully transforms the surroundings into an environment where every detail has been considered.

Private works — precisely drawn and brilliantly painted — have garnered her the recognition from art lovers throughout the nation. Fine oil portraits capture family members in heirloom quality, honoring true likeness.

Whether it's a classic portrait or scenic design, Candace Wagner's artistry will be admired and cherished for generations.
